Ok, make sense. Been about 15 years since I sold my R1A1 and only have a metric FAL now. Good refresher. |

| L2A1. Can't recall if the Canadian C2 mags used the disc, but Aussie ones did. |

Any chance of a side view of your mag? Any markings at all anywhere/ Century also had upper machined by Caspian Arms from their mold. It has the inch rectangle cut instead of the crescent of the metric mag. Metric mags fit perfect and inch no where near lock in. I thought it just wasn't machined correctly but I have seen 3 more like it. All feed from metric mags but inch doesn't fit. Guess it was easier and cheaper that way |
